About this mod
Nodes for transitioning from one nodes set to another node set. A generic set of 350 nodes to be used in custom maps.

This is a modders resource, not a mod in itself.
What is this?
This mod consists of 350 nodes and textures to go with them. The idea of these nodes is to make seamless transitions between any two node sets - without the need for caves and dungeons to change scenery. The nodes are not original, these are nodes from the generic folder, just retextured, edited and renamed into a basic generic set to be used for any transition we could only think of.
Being generic, there is no need to edit nodes in gmax, only the textures are needed.
Included as of now is a transition from forest to snow, as that was the reason I made these in the first place. I am planning on adding more transitions, but that will take time. Making these is as simple as putting two textures one on the other and using an eraser tool.
Also there is the "lite" version, having a measly 31 nodes, and needing only 21 textures for each transition (or less, if you don't plan on using all nodes). It is enough if the idea is just to make the transition and not to have a full region going between the two node sets (like the small example in the picture).
How to use
Unpack and put in your Bits folder. Remember to tank the nodes and textures you use into the drses of your map.
The new nodes will be found in the editor in Terrain Nodes\generic\transition.
The full version has a custom view for use, so it should go into the main "documents/Dungeon Siege/editor/" or "documents/Dungeon Siege LoA/editor/" folder if you plan on using it. I recommend using it, as there are no sub-folders in the transition folder of the main view.
Do read the README file, it will have useful information on how to use these nodes.
Disclaimer
I might make changes to the nodes in the future, update with extreme caution! Backup your maps, as changing nodes mid-work might corrupt your region.
I'd appreciate giving me credit if you are going to use these nodes.
